1/12. Hepatobronchial fistula due to transphrenic migration of hepatic echinococcosis: MR demonstration.We present an uncommon case of hepatic hydatidosis, complicated by transphrenic migration of the cyst, in which the use of magnetic resonance performed with ultrafast, breath-hold, heavily T2-weighted sequences (HASTE) demonstrated a bronchial fistula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/12. Nephroenteric fistula treated with fulguration of the fistulous tract.We report the management of a nephroenteric fistula with percutaneous fulguration in a patient with recurrent pyelonephritis and urolithiasis. A nephrostogram at 6 weeks and retrograde pyelogram at 18 weeks after fulguration showed no evidence of a recurrent fistula. We believe this to be the first reported case of a nephroenteric fistula treated successfully with fulguration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/12. High-flow arterioportal fistula: treatment with detachable balloon occlusion.Transarterial embolization is one of the treatment choices for symptomatic hepatic arterioportal fistula that has low mortality and morbidity. Proper selection of the technique and embolic material is very important for the success of the procedure. We present a case with high-flow arterioportal fistula treated with transarterial embolization using detachable balloons.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/12. Metallic cough and pyogenic liver abscess.The curious symptom of a metallic cough in association with a pyogenic hepatic abscess should heighten awareness of a fistula. We describe a 78-year-old female with severe diverticular disease, on long-term steroid treatment for polymyalgia rheumatica. She developed a pyogenic liver abscess, treated initially by antimicrobial therapy, and subsequently drained by ultrasound and computed tomography-guided percutaneous transhepatic pigtail catheterization. This was complicated by a fistulous communication between the abscess cavity and the bronchus, confirmed by radiology. After repeated attempts at drainage and antimicrobial therapy the abscess cavity, including the hepatobronchial fistula, resolved.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/12. New technique of laparoscopic-assisted excision of a cholecystocolic fistula: report of a case.Cholecystocolic fistula is a rare complication of gallstone disease that is most commonly diagnosed at the time of surgery. It is generally considered to be a contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of the difficulties involved in its management intraoperatively. Laparoscopic stapling or suturing techniques have been reported as feasible and safe methods for repairing such fistulas; however, these procedures are not always able to be performed due to technical difficulties. We exteriorized a cholecystocolic fistula through an umbilical incision, whereby it was repaired safely and easily. This report describes our new technique for managing a cholecystocolic fistula found incidentally during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/12. 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a novel imaging tool for the diagnosis of aortoenteric fistula and aortic graft infection--a case report.The diagnosis of aortic graft infection and aortoenteric fistula can be difficult to establish using conventional radiographic imaging modalities. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) can rapidly provide anatomically clear images and define areas of inflammation with increased glucose metabolism. In this report the authors present a case of aortoenteric fistula diagnosed by FDG-PET. early diagnosis led to rapid surgical intervention with graft removal and extraanatomic bypass. These encouraging results warrant larger controlled studies to evaluate the utility of FDG-PET in the diagnosis of prosthetic aortic graft infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/12. Treatment of early duodenal fistula after orthotopic liver transplantation: a case report.Gastrointestinal fistula as a serious complication could lead to imbalance of nutrition or death. Duodenal fistula after orthotopic liver transplantation is rare and its treatment is complicated. On April 28, 200, we performed orthotopic liver transplantation for a patient at our hospital. Eight days after operation duodenal fistula developed, but cured after 13-day treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/12. Hepatobiliary mucinous cystadenoma in a child.The authors present a 4-year-old boy who had a large mucin-hypersecreting hepatobiliary cystadenoma. The tumor caused a hepato-colo-cutaneous fistula, which produced a large amount of external fluid loss. Total excision and the repair of the fistula could be possible after shrinkage of the tumor with the use of selective embolization of the feeding artery by interventional radiology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/12. Duodeno-pleural fistula: a rare complication of peptic ulcer perforation.Duodenopleural fistula is a very uncommon complication of peptic ulcer perforation and usually follows empyema after a subdiaphragmatic abscess rupture. We present a rare case of duodenopleural fistula following subdiaphragmatic abscess, which resulted in thoracic empyema after gastric perforation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/12. Hepatopulmonary fistula caused by alveolar echinococcosis: report of a case.Alveolar echinococcosis is a parasitosis endemic to red fox habitats in the northern hemisphere. The liver is the most commonly affected organ, followed by the lungs. We report the case of an elderly woman with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) complicated by a hepatopulmonary fistula. We performed a one-stage operation for the hepatic and pulmonary lesions through the transdiaphragmatic route via a laparotomy. We report this case to emphasize that the first-line treatment for a hepatopulmonary fistula caused by HAE should be radical surgery, which results in relief of symptoms and a good outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
